Roma want to sign Chelsea player in January – Gasperini pushing for deal

Roma manager Gasperini is pushing to sign Chelsea winger Bynoe-Gittens on loan in January after the player has failed to establish himself in the Premier League.

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in summer 2025 but has struggled to make an impact, playing fewer than 1000 minutes in the Premier League last season and failing to feature at all this campaign.

Roma made a summer approach for the 22-year-old winger, but Chelsea blocked the move by insisting he be included in a deal for midfielder Manu Kone, which Gasperini rejected. Now, following Roma's loss to Manchester United, manager Gasperini has indicated the squad needs reinforcements to compete in the Champions League, and the club has identified Bynoe-Gittens as a key attacking target for January.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma would ideally want the winger on loan, though stances remain unclear. Gasperini has a track record of developing attacking talent—Donyell Malen being a recent example—and the opportunity to play Champions League football could help Bynoe-Gittens rediscover his form. The deal will ultimately depend on Chelsea's willingness to negotiate.
